Labour's Dave the Chameleon site has been removed.

The main page at www.davethechameleon.com now redirects to the home page of the Labour Party website. Both the page where you used to be able to download copies of the attack ad (previously at /debut.html) and the 'hilarious' two-entry blog (previously at /blog.html) now come up with 'File not found'. (Though, so far, Blair's bods have failed to delete this download page at the Labour Party website.)

This is a big kick in the teeth... for us. In fact, we hope that this is some sort of glitch and not a permanent arrangement.

Damn it, we want to slug it out in a fair fight in Google to see which version of the ad the nation prefers. Oh well. The page with our 'new and improved' version hasn't appeared in Google's database yet, but we do have this initial Yahoo result to be proud of:

The original Dave the Chameleon ad can still be seen on YouTube.

The 'new and improved' version can be seen by clicking here.

(You know, it's an odd thing... the Team Blair of days gone by would have removed our version, not their own...)

UPDATE (3pm) - As has been noted under comments, the official Dave the Chameleon site is now back in business. Let battle re-commence!

PS - If you're quick, you can look at the blog (at its new location) and see a very untidy mess. Heaven knows what they're playing at over there...
